Robert Pattinson Kisses Taylor Lautner, Drops the F-Bomb at MTV Movie Awards

Matt Cherette · 06/05/11 10:07PM

If you watched tonight's MTV Movie Awards, then you saw a whole lot of the Twilight cast. If you didn't tune in, then you probably don't know that—in a span of minutes—Robert Pattinson both ditched Kristen Stewart on stage to plant a big ol' kiss on Taylor Lautner in the audience, and said "But I did f*ck you" to Reese Witherspoon during a tribute award presentation (the F-bomb was missed by MTV censors). Above, watch both of the water cooler-worthy moments in one handy video.

Richard Lawson · 06/03/11 06:35PM

Another weekend is here, bringing another batch of new movies. And why waste these couple days riding your tandem bicycle around and smelling flowers when you could be sitting in a dark room watching old gay men die and parents cry about a school shooting and magical mutant kids blowing up boats and stuff? This is what summer's all about!

Richard Lawson · 06/01/11 11:57AM

Here's a trailer for the American (read: real) version of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, a movie adaptation of the late Stieg Larsson's hugely popular mystery novel. A redband "bootlegged" trailer popped up over the weekend, but this here is the official one.

What better way to honor the men and women of the armed services than to go see a movie? OK, there are many far better ways, but why not see a movie anyway? There are hangovers, and pandas!

The Hangover Part II Is Already on a Real Bender

Richard Lawson · 05/27/11 02:33PM

The sequel to 2009's big sleeper hit comedy The Hangover opened yesterday in early anticipation of the holiday weekend and it is big. Its $31 million opening day is the largest single-day earning for an R-rated comedy ever, and third highest-grossing Thursday opening on record. So basically get ready for The Hangover III: Tijuana Nights. [EW]

I Don't Know How She Does It: Same Sex, Same City

Matt Cherette · 05/27/11 12:58AM

Here's a trailer for I Don't Know How She Does It, which comes out this fall. The "she" is Sarah Jessica Parker, and the "it" is, well, to be a carbon copy of Sex and the City's Miranda. Except instead of a lawyer, Parker plays a banker, and instead of being married to a dopey guy named Steve, she's married to a dopey guy named Greg Kinnear. Kelsey Grammer also appears in the movie, along with Pierce Brosnan, who plays a prospective Mr. Big for Parker—if she was playing Carrie, that is, which she isn't, because she's playing Miranda.

Shark Night 3D: Jaws, in a Lake

Max Read · 05/25/11 08:14PM

Here's a trailer for Shark Night 3D, which is a movie about a shark, that was filmed in 3D. I'm not really sure what part is the "night" part, but there's definitely a shark, that lives in a lake.

All the Awesome Jokes Left out of Bridesmaids

Brian Moylan · 05/25/11 05:51PM

If you saw Bridesmaids you probably thought it was hysterical. Well, just think of how much funnier it could have been if they'd included Jon Hamm's dirty sex positions, the descriptions of nasty smells, or the funny lines coming out of a little boy's mouth. Just the rapid fire succession of all these outtakes will make your mind boggle. And you'll probably laugh once or twice, too.

Sarah Palin Has Made a Feature Length Film About Herself

Jim Newell · 05/25/11 10:39AM

Well, well, well. It seems Sarah Palin is delving into the motion picture business! And her first, but hopefully not last, production will be about an Alaskan governor who quit her job halfway through her first term to make money. Behold The Undefeated, Palin's top secret film project that will debut in Iowa next month.

Two Injured in Explosion on The Hobbit Set

Brian Moylan · 05/24/11 11:05AM

Two crew members on the set of Peter Jackson's much-delayed production of The Hobbit were treated at the hospital yesterday after an explosion inside a New Zealand workshop. Apparently the two were "drilling a statue" when the accident occurred. It's good to hear that they're both doing well, but the last thing this movie needs is something else that will keep it from getting to theaters. [Image via AP]

Richard Lawson · 05/23/11 03:13PM

Here's a teaser trailer for the new Muppets movie, written by Jason Segel and Nicholas Stoller, a passion project of Segel's that's been in the works for several years now. It looks... muppety?

What's Opening in Theaters This Weekend

Richard Lawson · 05/20/11 05:45PM

Avast, mateys! Another weekend has arrived and, though some brave indies are jumping into the cinema fray with it, most everyone else has gotten out of the way of the big boat captained by Johnny Depp. Probably a wise move.

The Adventures of Tintin: Cold-Eyed Monster People

Richard Lawson · 05/17/11 02:09PM

Here's a trailer for Steven Spielberg's motion-capture odyssey The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn, based on the beloved Belgian comics from yesteryear. A Tintin movie isn't on its face a bad idea, but this? This I'm not so sure about.
